About

Dr. Jane Soukup is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic prostate cancer surgery. Her primary research focuses on optimizing functional outcomes after radical prostatectomy, particularly through innovative surgical techniques that preserve urinary continence and erectile function without compromising oncologic control. Dr. Soukup's landmark 2009 paper, "Anatomic Bladder Neck Preservation During Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy," with 169 citations, established a standardized technique that dramatically improves post-surgical urinary control. She further demonstrated in her 2010 study on nerve-sparing approaches that meticulous preservation of neurovascular bundles directly correlates with superior continence recovery. Her contributions have been cited over 237 times, reflecting their profound impact on clinical practice worldwide. Dr. Soukup's work has helped transform robotic prostatectomy from a purely cancer-removal procedure into one that prioritizes patients' quality of life, making her a pivotal figure in the evolution of minimally invasive urologic oncology.
